Package: zfs-dkms Version: 0.7.9-3 Severity: normal If the spl module builds fails, the zfs configure scripts does a pointless wait loop during "configure":
... configure:14082: checking spl source directory configure:14140: result: /usr/src/spl-0.7.9 configure:14154: checking spl build directory I don't get it: why is this even necessary? There seems to be some specific logic about this in the configure script: --with-spl-timeout=SECS This is causing waits in orders of tens of minutes during package installation if the spl build fails, since dkms is triggering a rebuild multiple times. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (900, 'unstable'), (800, 'experimental'), (500, 'unstable-debug') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.17.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages zfs-dkms depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.67 ii dkms 2.3-3 ii lsb-release 9.20170808 ii spl-dkms 0.7.9-3 Versions of packages zfs-dkms recommends: ii linux-libc-dev 4.17.3-1 pn zfs-zed <none> ii zfsutils-linux 0.7.9-3 zfs-dkms suggests no packages.
